The AU1 front did have the splitter and the current machines still use that front but with a common bottom tray (parity laws saw the Falcons get the Commonbore's bottom tray) when the change was made from Ser 1 to Ser 11 the updated front end wasn't adopted due to the fact it was deemed to be waste of money - ie there was no advantage in updating.

Perhaps they should of changed the front end and designed a new front aero pack at the same time
